Soap UI Assertions

In this post I am going to explain what assertion in soapui is and how we can apply script assertion.

Assertion

Assertion functionality in SoapUI is used to validate the response of request received by the Test Steps at the time of execution. Usually assertion is to compare a part of message (or the entire message) to some expected value.
Assertion applied in SoapUI at response of request, if any assertion failed then test marked as failed. Failed test can be verify and find out the reason.

Assertion types in SoapUI

1.    Contains
2.    Not Contains
3.    XPath Match
4.    Xquery Match
5.    Scripts
6.    SLA
7.    JMS
8.    JDBC
9.    Security

Script Assertion
In SoapUI Groovy script is used for scripts assertion. Click on assertion option from your created test step.

Click on + icon, select scripts option from popup window and click Add button. Enter assertion name and click on OK button.
Suppose you are getting response in xml format as my test step response is in xml format.

</responce>

For above response I used below groovy scrip assertion for status node value

import com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder

def holder = new XmlHolder( messageExchange.responseContentAsXml )

assert holder["//status"] == "OK"

assert holder["//data"] == "2"

A Tutorial to Send Email using JMeter

Sending email is a mundane activity in any professional’s life. It’s a common medium for communication nowadays. Therefore performance testing of email server is not only important but necessary for an organization. JMeter can be helpful to perform load testing in such scenarios. In this tutorial, we will see how JMeter can be used to send email. We will use SMTP Sampler of JMeter to send an email. JavaMail API is needed to enable email functionality in JMeter. Download it from here and paste the jar in JMeter’s lib folder. Now, perform below steps to configure SMTP Sampler. Add a new Thread Group under Test Plan. Right click on Thread Group and select Add–>Sampler–>SMTP Sampler. We need to populate SMTP server’s details in this sampler. We will use GMail for sending an email. For this, enter these values in SMTP Sampler fields. Server: smtp.googlemail.com, Port: 587. Provide values in Email Address From and To fields of Mail Settings section to specify sender...

JMeter Exceeded Maximum Number of Redirects Error Solution

While running performance test, JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default. However, if your system demands more than 5 redirects, it may result in JMeter exceeded maximum number of redirects error. In this post, we have listed down steps to overcome this error. Actual error in JMeter: Response code: “Non HTTP response code: java.io.IOException” Response message: “Non HTTP response message: Exceeded maximum number of redirects: 5” This error is noticed because JMeter allows maximum 5 redirects by default and your system may be using more than 5 redirects. You need to increase this count to more than 5 in jmeter.properties file. Follow below steps to achieve this. Navigate to /bin directory of your JMeter installation. Locate jmeter.properties file and open it in any editor. Search for “httpsampler.max_redirects” property in opened file. Uncomment the above property by removing # before it. Change to value to more than 5 Eg. 20. Save the file and restart JMet...

Difference Between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects in JMeter

In this post, we will highlight important difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects options. These options are found in HTTP Request sampler of JMeter. Knowing the difference will help you decide your performance test strategy. When you check Redirect Automatically option, JMeter will not consider redirect as separate HTTP request. This in turn may result as lower response time in your overall performance test. Whereas Follow Redirect option will consider each redirection as separate requests. This may result in comparatively higher response time. This only has any effect if “Redirect Automatically” is not enabled. To see the difference between these two, record a sample script and run it by checking Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option. The second option will generate more requests in your result listener. As you can see from the above post, knowing the difference between Redirect Automatically and Follow Redirects option makes difference i...
